Auckland — Commonwealth Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

A heavy cruiser armed with nine 203 mm guns. The ship was based on a project developed in Great Britain at the beginning of World War II. She had significant advantages over the County-class heavy cruisers, including stronger armor and more powerful main battery guns arranged in triple-gun turrets. However, the project went nowhere—lighter ships were prioritized amid the war.

Pros

Access to long-range Submarine Surveillance consumable and long-range Depth Charge Airstrike
Access to Crawling Smoke Generator and Hydroacoustic Search consumables
High damage per minute with HE shells

Cons

Weak armor
Low gun traverse speed
Low AA defense efficiency
